Weal Lethal in the Shootout:

Two with blankings:
Both Matt Hewitt (4) and Adam Beukeboom (1) have shut outs this season, this is the first time since 2007-08 that the Pats have had more than one goaltender with shutouts as Linden Rowat had three and Jeff Bosch one. Hewitt’s four shutouts is the most for a Pats goaltender since Rowat’s four in 2006-07.
